About the artwork

With his work "Dance", Liu Bolin not only replicates the original composition of Matisse's eponymous masterpiece, but also reinvents it by physically inserting himself and other people into the image. Indeed, the invisible artist meticulously reconstructs the 1910 work, within which several human bodies can be seen, interacting with shapes and colors and reflecting the characteristic dynamism of the original work. Liu Bolin questions the continuity of artistic expression and invites reflections on our relationship with historical images and how they can be reinterpreted and made relevant in today's context.

Expert opinion

This work by Liu Bolin is representative of his usual technique of visual camouflage, opening up a dialogue in art history between past and present.

About the artist

Born in 1973 in Shandong, China, Liu Bolin is an artist who lives and works in Beijing. A graduate of Shandong University of Fine Arts and the Central Academy of Fine Arts of China, he has since pursued an internationally acclaimed photography practice, notably through the series he began in 2005 entitled Hiding in the City, and has since become known as the "invisible man". His sculptural work also includes human figures made of electronic components. His work, whether photographic or sculptural, suggests a message of humanity in peril, dissolved in an urban, technological heap. His work has been the subject of numerous exhibitions around the world, including at the Maison Européenne de la Photographie in Paris in 2017, the Musée de l'Elysée in Lausanne in 2018 and the Museo delle Culture in Milan in 2019.
